ELA Grade 10 Curriculum Map
Description
In this unit, students read Martin Luther King’s “Letter From A Birmingham Jail” alongside three short poems, focusing on how King develops his argument for direct action on civil rights. Students will begin to analyze how central ideas emerge and develop in the letter and determine how King uses rhetoric to advance his point of view and purpose. Poems by Rabindranath Tagore, the first Indian to win a Nobel Prize in 1913, Iranian poet Ahmad Shamlu and Alice Walker offer a counterpoint to King’s work, providing non-US and feminist perspectives on the human rights movement.Downloads
